1.The Letter Edged In Black
作詞：H. Nevada
作曲：H. Nevada
I was standin' by my window yesterday morning
Without a thought of worry or of care
When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway
With such a happy face and jolly air.
He rang the bell and whistled as he waited
Then he said; 'Good morning to you, Jack'
But he little knew the sorrow he had brought me
When he handed me a letter edged in black.
With trembling hand I took this letter from him
I broke the seal and this is what it said：
'Come home my boy, your dear old father wants you
Come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead.'
I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness
The sunshine of my life, it all had fled
When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning
'Saying come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead.'
'The last words your mother ever uttered
Tell my boy I want him to come back
My eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking
So, I'm writing you this letter edged in black.'
'Forget those angry words that we had spoken
You know I didn't mean them, don't you, Jack
May the angels bear as witness, I am asking
Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black.'
2.There's A Mother Always Waiting At Home
作詞：J. Thornton
作曲：J. Thornton
So, you're going to leave the old home, Jim
Today you're going away
So, you're going among the city folks to dwell'
So spoke a kind old mother
To her boy one summer day
'If your mind's made up that way, I wish you well
The old home will be lonesome
We'll miss you when you go
The birds won't sing so sweet when you're not nigh
But if you get in trouble, Jim
Just write and let us know'
She spoke these words and then she said goodbye
If sickness overtakes you
Or old companions shake you
As through this world you wander all alone
When friends you haven't any
In your pocket not a penny
There's a mother always awaiting you at home
Ten years later to this village
Came a stranger no one knew
His steps were halt and ragged clothes he wore
The little children laughed at him
As down the lane he trod
At last he stopped before a cottage door
He gently knocked, no sound he heard
He thought, 'Can she be dead？'
But then he heard a voice well known to him
Was his mother's voice, but her hair had silvered
By the touch of time
And she said, 'Thank God, they've sent me home my Jim
3.The Engineer's Dying Child
作詞：H. Neil、G. Davis
作曲：G. Davis、H. Neil
A little child on a sickbed lay,
And death was very near.
He was the pride and the only child of a railroad engineer.
His duty had called him from those he loved,
And seeing that hope was dim.
While a tear he shed to his wife he said, ？Just have two
lanterns trimmed.'
Just hang a light when I pass tonight.
Hang it where it can be seen.
If the baby's dead then show the red.
If he's better then show the green.
In a little shack,
By the railroad track,
A mother with watchful eyes.
Saw a gleam of hope in a tender smile,
As the train went rushing by,
Just one short look,
Was his only chance？
To see the light a gleam.
In the midnight air their rose a prayer.
Thank god the light was green.
Just hang a light when I pass tonight.
Hang it where it can be seen.
If the baby's dead then show the red.
If he's better then show the green.
4.My Mother Was A Lady
作詞：E. Marks
作曲：E. Marks
Two drummers they were seated in a grand hotel one day
While dining they were chatting in a sort of joking way
There came a pretty waitress to bring a tray of food
They spoke to her familiarly in a manner sort of rude
At first she did not notice nor make the least reply
When somethin' that was said to her brought teardrops to her
eyes
She turned on her tormentors, her cheeks were flamin' red
Approaching as a picture these are the words she said
My Mother was a lady and yours, I would allow
You may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find my brother dear
You would not dare insult me, sir, if brother Jack were here
The two sat there in silence, their heads hung low in shame
Forgive us, miss, we meant no harm, pray tell us what is your
name
She told him and he cried aloud I know your brother too
We've been friends for many, many years and he ofttimes speaks
of you
Come go with me when I go back and if you'll only wed
I'll take you to him as my bride, I've loved you since you said
My Mother was a lady and yours, I would allow
You may have a sister who needs protection now
I've come to this great city to find my brother dear
You would not dare insult me, sir, if brother Jack were here
5.The Winding Stream
作詞：A.P. Carter
作曲：A.P. Carter
Oh, give to me a winding stream, it must not be too wide
Where waving leaves from maple trees do meet from either side
The water must be deep enough to float a small canoe
With no one else but you
Do not disturb my waking dream, the splendor of that winding
stream
Flower in my canoe, his eyes, they looked me through
That someone there with golden hair is very much like you
The sparkling trout beneath the bank does leave his hiding place
Kingfisher from the bough above so eager to give chase
The spreading branches overhead, the sunlight peeping through
Reminding me of you
Do not disturb my waking dream, the splendor of that winding
stream
Flower in my canoe, his eyes, they looked me through
That someone there with golden hair is very much like you
6.Far Away Places
作詞：J. Whitney、A. Kramer
作曲：A. Kramer、J. Whitney
Those far away places with strange sound and names
far away over sea
Far away places with the strange sound
and names are calling calling me
I go into China or maybe Siam I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' bout in a book
that I took from a shelf I keep wishin' I was
somewhere else way on a train
I pray for the day I can get under way
and search for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer well maybe I am but
I'm never longin' to see
The strange far away places with the strange sound
and names calling calling me
Calling calling me
7.Galway Bay
作詞：A. Colahan
作曲：A. Colahan
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
Then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
Or watch the sun go down on Galway Bay
For the breezes blowing o'er the sea to Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands diggin' praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know
For the strangers came and tried to teach their way
And scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star
And if there is going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there's going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish sea
8.When I Stop Dreaming
作詞：Ira Louvin、Charles Louvin
作曲：Charles Louvin、Ira Louvin
The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
The first time I ever have wanted to die
Was the night when you told me
You loved someone else
And you asked me if I could forget
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you

You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow
You may take a pebble and teach it to grow
You may teach all the raindrops to return to the clouds
But you can't teach my heart to forget
When I stop dreaming
That's when I'll stop loving you
9.Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes
作詞：Traditional
作曲：Traditional
Drink to me only with thine eyes
And I will pledge with mine.
Or leave a kiss within the cup
And I'll not ask for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ask a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's nectar sip,
I would not change for thine.
I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
Not so much hon'ring thee
As giving it a hope that there
It could not withered be;
But thou thereon did'st only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me,
Since when it grows and smells, I swear
Not of itself, but thee.
10.I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen
作詞：T. Westendorf
作曲：T. Westendorf
I'll take you home again Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my pleasent bride
The roses all have left your cheek
I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is sadden when you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes
Oh, would I will take you back Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I will take you to your home again
11.Missouri Waltz
作詞：J.R. Shannon、F.K. Logan-Eppel
作曲：F.K. Logan-Eppel、J.R. Shannon
Hush a bye my baby slumber time is coming soon
Rest your head on mommie's breast while daddy hums a tune
Are the old folks were humming the banjos were strumming
And the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by
Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody
When I was a little fellow on my mommie's knee
The old folks were humming the banjos were strumming so sweet
and low
Hush a bye my baby go to sleep on daddy？s knee
Journey back to Dixie Land in dreams again with me
Oh, it seems like your daddy was there once again
And the old folks were strumming that same old refrain
Way down in Missouri when I heard this lullaby
While the stars were blinking and the moon was shining high
Are the old folks were humming the banjos were strumming so
sweet and low
12.Louisiana Man
作詞：D. Kershaw、B. Deaton
作曲：B. Deaton、D. Kershaw
Well, at birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned
Raised him on the banks of a river bed
On a houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my papa and my mama and me
The clock strikes three and papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cooking papa something to eat
At half past, papa he's ready to go
He jumps in his pirogue headed down the bayou
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can
He's gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
My Muskrat hides hanging by the dozens
Even got a lady mink, a muskrat's cousin
Got 'em out drying in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow papa's gonna turn 'em into money
Well, they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
Little baby brother on the floor that's Mack
Bren and Lin are the family twins
And big brother Ed's on the bayou fishing
On the river floats papa's great big boat
And that's how my papa goes into town
Takes him every bit of a night and a day
To even reach a place where the people stay
And I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes around
That's the day my papa takes his furs to town
Papa promised me that I could go
He'd even let me see a cowboy show
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
I told my pop I've gotta go again
Well, Papa said, 'Son we've got lines to run
We'll come back again but first there's work to be done'
He's got fishing lines strung across the Louisiana Rivers
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's setting traps in the swamp catching anything he can
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
13.Paradise
作詞：J. Prine
作曲：J. Prine
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn
'And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay？'
'Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away'
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our
pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill
'And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay？'
'Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away'
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
'And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay？'
'Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away'
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am
'And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the green river where paradise lay？'
'Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
14.I Don't Believe You Wanted To Leave
15.Jim, I Wore A Tie Today
作詞：C. Walker
作曲：C. Walker
Jim, I did everything that I could
But your fever just wouldn't die down
So I tied your horse to the wagon bed
And last night I brought you to town.
But when I got there you were gone Jim
And there was nothin' nobody could do
I bought you a suit and a tie Jim
And today I wore one too.
Jim I wore a tie today
The first one that I ever wore
And you'd have said I looked like a dummy
Out of a dry goods store.
Jim they said a lot of things
But I don't know a thing they said
My mind kept wanderin' off down the trail
Back to the times that we've had.
(Wind her through sun and the rain)
And for gold on the cuff
We've done everything in the book I guess
And a lot they'd never thought up.
Well Jim, you're ridin' on ahead
I guess that's how it has be
But when you reach those streets paved with gold Jim
Stake a claim out for me...
16.Saginaw, Michigan
作詞：D. Wayne、B. Anderson
作曲：B. Anderson、D. Wayne
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
And I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
My daddy was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home with too little pay
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan
She was the daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me, 'That son of a Saginaw fisherman'
And not good enough to ever claim his daughter's hand
That's why I'm up here in Alaska looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool I'm a digging in the frozen ground, so cold
But with each new day I pray I'll strike it rich and then
I'll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan
I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan
I said, 'Honey, I'm a coming home, please wait for me
And you can tell your dad that I'm coming back a richer man
I've hit the biggest strike in Klondyke history'
Her dad met the bus in Saginaw, Michigan
And he gave me a great big party with champagne
Then he said, 'Son, you're wise, young ambitious man
Why don't you sell your father-in-law your Klondyke claim？'
Now he's up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground
That greedy fool is a looking for the gold I never found
But it serves him right and nobody here is missing him
Least of all the newly-weds of Saginaw, Michigan
17.When It's Springtime In Alaska(It's Forty Below)
作詞：Tillman Franks
作曲：Tillman Franks
I mushed from Point Barron through a blizzard of snow
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks, the city was a-boom
So I took a little stroll to the Red Dog Sea-loon
As I walked in the door, the music was clear
The purtiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's Springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
(When it's Springtime in Alaska, it's forty below)
It was redheaded Lil who was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the snow packs off my feet
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune
We did the Eskeemo Hop all around the sea-loon
With the Caribou Crawl and a Grizzly Bear Hug
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold
When it's Springtime in Alaska, it's forty below
I was as innocent as I could be
I didn't know Lil was Big Ed's wife-to-be
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
When it's Springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below
(When it's Springtime in Alaska, he'll be six feet below)
18.Girl In Saskatoon
作詞：J. HORTON、Johnny Cash
作曲：J. HORTON、Johnny Cash
I left a little town
A little south of Hudson Bay
I couldn't find a thing, to make a rounder want to stay
I fought the wind across the baren waste in the crystal doom
Going for to marry the girl in Saskatoon
I'm glad I realized that no one could take her place
My heart was beating for her like the winter beat my face
But knowing that I'd see her made my spirit bright as June
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
South and West and following the cold December sun
I bedded down in the Carragana when my daily trek was done
Then up and pressing onward by the light of the morning moon
A prodical returning to the girl in Saskatoon
Then I found the trail that had packed beneath the snow
I made the final miles where the prairie lillies grow
The steeple on a church glistened by the prairie moon
I'm freezing but I'm burning for the girl in Saskatoon
My journey was forgotten
When I held her in my arms
My wonderlust was stiffled
By possesion of her charms
And even beneath the steeple
Where we couldn't wait till June
I found eternal spring with the girl in Saskatoon

20.Tiger Whitehead
作詞：J.R. Cash、N. Winston
作曲：J.R. Cash、N. Winston
Wild blackberries bloomin' in the thickest on the mountain
Sheep shire and water cress are growin' round the fountain
Where a big black bear is drinkin' lappin' water like a dog
Tiger Whitehead's in the bed sleepin' like a log
But tomorrow he'll see bear tracks seven itches wide
And by sundown he'll be bringin' in the hide
Pretty Sally Garland comin' down the mountain side
Where Tiger Whitehead's tryin' to nap a mill at the mill
She sits down on a bearskin and she says you'll be my man
I'll have me the best bearhunter in the hills
A wild child was Tiger Whitehead and they say he killed
Ninety-nine bears before he went to rest went to rest
Once he left two bearcubs orphaned but he brought 'em right on
home
And Sally nursed the two bearcubs upon her breast
Wild blackberries bloomin'...
Tiger now is eighty-five and he lay upon his bed
And the bears he killed now numbered ninety-nine ninety-nine
Some fellers trapped the bears but Tiger said just let him go
If he ain't running wild he won't be mine
But at the night when the wind howls cross the hills of eastern
Tennessee
And when the lightnin' flashes there's the strange thing that
the people say they see
An old grey headed ghost runnin' through mountains there
It's Tiger Whitehead after his one hundreth bear
Wild blackberries bloomin
21.It's All Over
作詞：J.R. Cash
作曲：J.R. Cash
I was on my way to you and I was worried
I was all torn up and nervous
'Cause I knew that you'd be gone
I knocked and crossed my fingers while I waited
And I couldn't hide the teardrops
When I walked away a- lone.
It's All Over, It's All Over
Ev'ry minute that you cry for her
Is wasted don't you know
It's All Over, It's All Over
Stop your cryin'
Turn around and let her go.
I was runnin' 'round in circles like a baby
I was in a daze because
I loved you so, I couldn't see
I was broken in a million little pieces
When I saw enough to realize
You didnt care for me.
22.A Fast Song
23.Virgie
作詞：J.R. Cash
作曲：J.R. Cash
Here's a song called Virgie
That I wrote for aunt Virgie Haughs
And I dedicate it to her husband, to her children
And the countless people that loved her so much
Virgie, your house was always warm
And my bed was always ready when I came
Virgie, in the middle of the night
You would welcome friends of mine without a name
And you could always hear and see, the turning of the key
And your laughing voice to me was like a song
Virgie, your spirit sweet and free
Is living still with me though you are gone
Virgie, you spoke softly and kind
And you'd never say a word to criticize
Virgie, your children love you so
More than we ever let you realize
And day or night I knew that I could bring my cares to you
And when I was wrong, you'd never put me down
Virgie, there's so much I could say
But I can't find the way to write it down
Can't find the way to write it down
24.I Wanted So
作詞：J.R. Cash
作曲：J.R. Cash
I wanted so to tell that old man, Oh so many things
Like the corn was 10 feet tall, that he had planted in the sping
and the books he'd ordered came in in the mail just yesterday
but he never said a word and life slowly slipped away
I wanted so to tell him just how much he meant to me
I wanted so to thank him for what he taught me that I could be
I wanted him to know, that his grandchildren all were there
and that his four year old grandson said 'Papa, I said a prayer'
I wanted to apologize for always being on the go
for never having enough time to talk about the things that he
needed so
I wanted so to tell him 'Pop, your loved ones all are here'
but he just lay there with his eyes closed, and I think he shed
a knowing tear
Yes, I wanted so to tell that old man, Oh so many things
Like the corn was 10 feet tall, that he had planted in the sping
and the books he'd ordered came in, in the mail just yesterday
but he never said a word and life just slowly slipped away
25.It Takes One To Know Me
作詞：C. Carter
作曲：C. Carter
it's true that i used to be crazy
and harder to love than most men
and the blood that ran in these tired hands
was harder and wilder back then
and i don't feel as tall as i used to
maybe it's just that i've grown
you're the one that held my hand when i fell
if i just couldn't make it alone
we've lived out all the stories
sang all the old songs
it takes one to know me
i guess you're the one
your daughters are ladies of fortune
and your son an heir to the throne
and though this crown that i hold is
tarnished and cold
it's a symbol of all that we own
sometimes i wish i was younger
and could pick up the pieces and run
but then i look back on the matter of fact
and it's a race that we've already won
we've lived out all the stories
sang all the old songs
it takes one to know me
i guess you're the one
we've lived out all the stories
sang all the old songs
it takes one to know me
and you knew the one

作詞：Rodney Crowell
作曲：Rodney Crowell
There's a wildwood in the pines where the family used to gather.
There's a little shady grove where they built a country church.
They was singing in the ground. Baptisin' in the river.
Glory! Hallelujah, brother! Sweet salvation there was found.
So I believe that the saints go side-by-side in the land that
lies up yonder.
I believe that there are streets there paved with gold.
There are people on their feet shoutin', singin' hallelujah!
I believe that Jesus loves me. I can feel it in my soul.
There's a long and windin' road that I long once more to travel.
There's a home place in my heart sittin' high upon a hill.
There's a rosewood rockin' chair and a place set at the table.
Guess I better have a little talk with Jesus. Maybe he can take
me there.
So I believe that the saints go side-by-side in the land that
lies up yonder.
I believe that there are streets there paved with gold.
There are people on their feet shoutin', singin' hallelujah!
I believe that Jesus loves me. I can feel it in my soul.

作曲：A.B. Everett、M.B.C. Slade
Two times of loneliness and heartbreakin' despair and sadness
I've always found that a good song of inspiration lift me up
Makes me feel, just a little bit better
Who, at my door is standing
Patiently drawing near
Entrance within, demanding
Who is the voice, I hear
Sweetly the tones are falling
Open the door for me
If Thou wilt heed my calling
I will abide with Thee
Who, at my door is standing
Patiently drawing near
Entrance within, demanding
Who is the voice, I hear
Sweetly the tones are falling
Open the door for me
If Thou wilt heed my calling
I will abide with Thee

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.

Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power, all power, surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o？er my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit ？till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.
30.Lights Of Magdala
作詞：L. Murray
作曲：L. Murray
Oh, the lights of magdala flicker dimly on the shore
Holy sailor sailing on the sea
Patiently waiting she was quietly to the door
Another lonely night in galilee
Magdalene, don't wrap your dreams in sorrow
Save them for morrow if it comes
When we'll meet within the circle round the sun
If heaven were a lady don't you know you have been the one
To the streets of jerusalem you followed him once more
Your holy sailor's come home from the sea
The somewhere someone's calling you to a distant golden shore
Far from the lonely nights in galilee
Magdalene, don't wrap your dreams in sorrow
Save them for morrow if it comes
When we'll meet within circle round the sun
If heaven were a lady I know you'd been the one
31.If Jesus Ever Loved A Woman
作詞：J.R. Cash
作曲：J.R. Cash
If Jesus ever loved a woman, I think Mary Magdalene
Was the woman that He loved
If Jesus ever loved a woman
It was Mary Magdalene
His life was pure perfection
And He never did no sin, nor lust nor greed
And He fell to no temptation
And only did His Father know about His human need
And many were the women and the men
Who followed each place He was seen
From seven dirty devils
Did He free the soul of Mary Magdalene
If Jesus ever loved a woman, I think Mary Magdalene
Was the woman, Jesus loved
If Jesus ever loved a woman
It was Mary Magdalene
He never did condemn a man, a woman
Just for being man, or woman
And He always will forgive
If someone tells Him, that they're really truly sorry
But He couldn't stand a hypocrite
A person who'd pretend that they were holy
And we're not
I'd think He'd loved someone like Mary Magdalene, quiet a lot
If Jesus ever loved a woman, I think Mary Magdalene
Was the woman that He loved
If Jesus ever loved a woman, it was Mary Magdalene
If Jesus ever loved a woman, I think Mary Magdalene
Was the woman that He loved
If Jesus ever loved a woman, it was Mary Magdalene
32.The Lily Of The Valley
作詞：C.W. Fry、W.S. Hays
作曲：C.W. Fry、W.S. Hays
I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll.
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear,
From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.
33.Have A Drink Of Water
作詞：Johnny Cash
作曲：Johnny Cash
In the long, hot, thirsty summer of about 32 A.D.
Along a dusty highway, there came a man of Galilee
And as he went through Samaria, he stopped at Jacob's well
And there he met a woman whose deep secrets he would tell
'Could I have a drink of water？', Soft and quietly asked he
And she said, 'Sir, I'm Samaritan, how dare you speak to me？'
He said, 'If you would ask of me than either son of man
Would give you living water and you'd never thirst againa€�
Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water
Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water
Dip in' to the endless well, pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout as the flames of hell go out
Have a drink of water, everlastin', endless water
Then the woman said, 'Sir, you have no way to draw out of this
well
Our father Jacob dug it and the stories it could tell
From this well drank his children and his kettle by the score
Where is your well, Sir, tell me, that will flow forever more'
And he answered and said, 'Unto her your water will go dry
And my well is everlastin', if you drink you'll never diea€�
My father God's a spirit and he set me under men
To give you living water so you'll never thirst again
Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water

Dip in' to the endless well, pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout as the flames of hell go out
Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water
Well, there now are many thirstin' in this modern century
Whose thirst could be quenched quickly by the man from Galilee
For the water flows eternal from the well that never dries
For it flows right out of Heaven where the soul never dies
So if you're hot and tired and thirstin'
And if you crave a cool, tall drink
He will pour it right out for you a lot quicker than you think
He already knows you're thirsty so just let him come on in
And he'll give you livin' water and you'll never thirst again
Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water
Have a drink of water, everlastin' livin' water
Dip in' to the endless well, pour it on the fires of hell
Have a drink and sing and shout as the flames of hell go out

35.Look Unto The East
作詞：J.R. Cash
作曲：J.R. Cash
The teacher of truth told tales
Of trouble times that would begin
And the cynical sower sowed
The sorrowful seeds of seven sins
The people placed a price upon
The prince of perfect peace
And the one who wooed the world was wounded
Look unto the east
The morning moved in mournfully
With many moments marred
By brawny beast who beat the beauty
Bound and bit and barred
They laid the lash upon him low
His lips moved not the least
Watch him come from where he did go
Look unto the east
The devil drew his darts
And the dearest dove came droppin' down
But the spirits slips in soft and sweetly
Unseen with no sound
The comforter, the counselor
With us till time is ceased
And the groom will return for his bride
Look unto the east
36.Matthew 24(Is Knocking At The Door)
37.The House Is Falling Down
作詞：J.R. Cash
作曲：J.R. Cash
When he came here, He laid down a mighty firm foundation
And the columns and the beams were churches, scattered through
the nation
And then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock
And roofs were raised by willing hands, from the bottom to the
top
Then the people came and filled the house, were singing prayer
and praise
Some turned and rejected, His house fell on leaner days
Oh, Son of God, oh Carpenter, will you come back around
The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down
Now the storm is raging and the devil's angry roar
He's screaming at the windows and howlin' at the door
And though the faithful few inside are standing true and strong
The house has been neglected and it won't be standin' long
Then the people came and filled the house, were singing prayer
and praise
Some turned and rejected, His house fell on leaner days
Son of God, oh Carpenter, will you come back around
Our blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down
Son of God, oh Carpenter, where you come back around
The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is fallin' down

And that is sure was hard to follow down the same road that he

One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to Paul
One of these days I'm gonna shake that healing hand
One of these days I'm gonna shake that healing hand
That hand that raised up Uticus, that old sleepin', fallen man
One of these days I'm gonna shake that healing hand
I know just how he felt locked in that jail
I know just how he felt locked in that jail
And I bet that him and Silas will have quite a tale to tell
I know just how he felt locked in that jail
One of these days I'm gonna sit down and
Sit down and talk to Paul
One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to
Sit down and talk to Paul
I'm gonna ask him about his journeys
And he will tell me about them all
One of these days I'm gonna sit down and talk to
Sit down and talk to Paul
39.What On Earth(Will You Do For Heaven's Sake)
作詞：Johnny Cash
作曲：Johnny Cash
Will you walk another mile
Turn a frown with a smile
Will you live the lowly heart about to break
Would you also give your cloak
To one who took away your coat
What on earth will you do for heaven's sake
Would you feed the poor in spirit
And befriend the persecuted
Will you show the bounds how all the chains can break
Did you sow the cropper seed
Will you walk among the weak
What on earth will you do for heaven's sake
Did you turn the other cheek
Are you counted with the meek
Would you give a little more than you can take
Will you shine your little light
On the children of the night
What on earth will you do for heaven's sake
Will you feed the poor in spirit
And befriend the persecuted
Will you show the bounds how all the chains can break
Did you sow the cropper seed
Will you walk among the weak
What on earth will you do for heaven's sake
40.My Children Walk In The Truth
作詞：J.R. Cash
作曲：J.R. Cash
I prayed to feel more joy in my salvation
A selfish prayer I finally came to know
For the greatest joy while living comes to me when I am giving
Giving children bread of life and watch them grow
And my greatest joy is knowing that my children walk in truth
And that they are giving you Lord of their fire and strength of
youth
Yes, I've found the greatest joy in my salvation
Is knowing that my children walk in truth
It's hard to feed someone else when you're hungry
And don't try to teach when you don't understand
No one will follow you if you don't live it each day through
And a frightened child won't hold a trembling hand
And my greatest joy is knowing that my children walk in truth
And that they are giving you Lord of their fire and strength of
youth
Yes, I've found the greatest joy of my salvation
Is knowing that my children walk in truth

No earthly good you are no earthly good
You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good
You could give someone a cool drink if you would
You're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good
If you're holdin' heaven then spread it around
There are hungry hands reaching up here from the ground
Move over and share the high ground where you stood
So heavenly minded and you're no earthly good

You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good
Move over and share the high ground where you stood
So heavenly minded and you're no earthly good
No earthly good

作詞：Johnny Cash

By the way the land is layin'
I think I'd be safe in sayin'
That over the next hill we'll be home
It's a straight and narrow highway
No detours and no byways
And over the next hill we'll be home
From the prophets I've been hearin'
I would say the end is nearin'
For I see familiar landmarks all along
By the dreams that I've been dreamin'
There will come a great redeemin'
And over the next hill we'll be home
By the turn the tide is takin'
I would say there's no mistakin'
That over the next hill we'll be home
There's a place that we are nearin'
That so many have been fearin'
And over the next hill we'll be home
When we get there we're all hopin'
That we'll find the gate is open
And there'll be a refuge from the comin' storm
For the way's been long and weary
But at last the end is nearin'
And over the next hill we'll be home

One night after a concert
I walked through the streets of the town

So I stepped inside the door
And sat down by a little old lady in the back
A man stood up in front and said

Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder why it should be thus
all the day long
While there are others living about us never molested though in

Farther along we'll know all about it farther along we'll

Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine we'll understand it all

When we see Jesus coming in glory when he comes from his home in

Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion we'll understand

Farther along we'll know all about it

With an engineer that's brave

From the cradle to the grave
Heed the curves and watch the tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail
Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us

Where the angels wait to join us
In that train forevermore
Oh, Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's grace forevermore

We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blessed;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
To our bountiful Father above,
We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days.
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
